While linking through, I read Geldof's piece pointing out the good Bush did in Africa. Couldn't just do that, had to reflect it against his (several ill informed) opinions about other US policies. Then the sentence that resonated with that self appointed godhood celebrities don.

About Bush's opinion of his actions concerning Iraq -- "I'm comfortable with that decision," he says. But he can't be. The laws of unintended consequences would determine that.

If it ain't in their list of beliefs, regardless of your firmness of belief, they have this deep down belief that you can't really, really believe it to be the 'right' thing.

Lot of believing going on over there. Except that those unintended consequences might just be working on their decisions.

I read the other day where Bill Ayers was turned away, not allowed to enter Canada. Pretty cool on their part. However, I would rather have seen him allowed into Canada, then not allowed back here. Not that I would wish Ayers on Canada.

That video should win awards at the grammys for best comedy, and fictional movie. Because you know none of them meant a word they said.

The cool thing about celebrities is that, unlike people like doctors, judges, scientists, mail deliverers, supermarket checkout clerks, toilet cleaners, and other people who provide essential services, we can actually ignore celebrities. Turns out, what they say or think has no value unless we're paying attention.

My remote control has this little "off" button. I find that helps keep me from getting my knickers in a knot over what celebrities do.

Obama is NOT my president. Not now or ever. If I have to renounce my citizenship I will do so. But let it be known, America has left me behind on it's fast track to a socialist nightmare. I'd rather go live in some god-forsaken Australian outback and dodge coral snakes then deal with human snakes aka liberals.

Tomorrow is the annual March for Life - to be a voice for the voiceless - the unborn who are slaughtered at the rate of 1.2 million per year. At the peak of abortion in 1984 there were as many abortions in a single year as the number of people who crowded the National Mall yesterday.

Their claims ring hollow because when we still kill the innocents in the womb, defending anything else just underscores a profound moral desolation.

NJartist! I didn't go to a war, taken from college, and then, later have my son go to the marines so you could decide that you dislike how the majority voted in a democracy. Don't like our nation? Go to a country more in keeping with your views. And screw up[ their flag and see what happens.

ps: Obama did this on his first day!http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/21/obama-freezes-salaries-of_n_159739.html

Dearest little NathanI spent my college years protesting the Left's rabid anti-America/Vietnam war demonstrations in the 60s: your apparent friends. I have as much right to dislike how the majority voted in a democracy as your ilk did with Bush II, Bush I, Reagan, & Nixon: don't you remember your mantra until Tuesday at 11:59 a.m. - Dissent is Patriotic?

By the way Nathan, have your son recite to you the Pledge of Allegiance; especially the part stating "I pledge allegiance to the flag and the REPUBLIC for which it stands."

With the institution of the socialist state in the U.S., we are no longer a republic - follow this Natty - the Stars and Stripes are not the flag of the new state.

Also Natty, you must have really sucked at your studies in the 60s because most colleges were being quite lenient in their grading in order to keep kids from being drafted: remember Pass/Fail?
